Re: [nysbirds-l] Staten Island Varied Thrush - NO

[Timothy Healy]

The Varied Thrush was indeed reported today, apparently foraging on the
ground and quite a bit more cooperative than it has been lately. The
Yellow-breasted Chat seems to be the most reliable of the local rarities,
though I heard no reports of the American Bittern since the storm.
https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S51901103

The thrush was ranging widely when I was present on Saturday, rarely
staying in one spot for more than a few minutes. It was favoring high
perches, moving from treetop to treetop in long flights that were often
difficult to follow. Keep an eye out along the stream north of the white
stone bridge at Brooks Lake, where it seemingly likes to forage and bathe,
as well as the pines along the path in the same area. It was also spotted
moving between yards across Clove Road as well. Good luck to anyone who
goes for this bird in the coming days. Don't get discouraged if it proves
tricky or disappears on you, it is definitely unpredictable but seems to
return to the general area with some regularity.

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Reminder BBC Evening Presentation: Jake LaBelle: The New York Seascape

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

*Tuesday January22nd 7pm*

*BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY, CENTRAL BRANCH AT GRAND ARMY PLAZA*
*BBC Evening Presentation:* *Jake LaBelle**: The New York Seascape*

The New York Bight encompasses more than 16,000 square miles of coastal and
ocean waters from Montauk, New York, to Cape May, New Jersey. It is an
ecological treasure trove, providing critical migration routes for globally
threatened species, including sea turtles, whales, and sharks, as well as
nursery grounds and critical habitat for hundreds of other marine species.
Jake LaBelle will describe how the Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York
Aquarium is engaged in field research, education and policy advocacy in
order to help protect marine wildlife and help cultivate an ocean ethic in
the region.

[nysbirds-l] Ulster County Waterfowl Count Results

[Steve M. Chorvas]

The Ulster County segment of the annual NYSOA New York State January 
Waterfowl Count was conducted this past Saturday, 19 January 2019. 
Pending one outstanding report, six field parties found a total of 7,866 
individuals comprising 13 species of waterfowl.  Our most recent 
ten-year average for this countywide effort is 11.7 species and 5,759 
individuals.  A total of 40 Bald Eagles (19 adults and 21 sub-adults) 
were observed during the course of the waterfowl count.

A few noteworthy records include 3 Cackling Geese (two grazing a pasture 
at Blue Chip Farm, one in a cornfield on the Hurley Flats), a raft of 75 
Canvasbacks in the Hudson River at Esopus Meadows, and a single drake 
Wood Duck and a drake Northern Pintail on Stone Ridge Pond.  An 
interesting goose that appeared to be a Barnacle x Canada hybrid was 
also found and photographed in the Mill Dam Road pond.

Typical of this annual mid-winter survey, two pervasive species 
accounted for 92% of our total abundance: Canada Goose (69%) and Mallard 
(23%).

Mild air temperatures and open water with no snow cover was a 
predominant theme through early winter until consistently sub-freezing 
air temperatures solidified a substantial amount of water during the 
first half of January, forcing some waterfowl to move.  Apparently 
displaced by freezing conditions to our immediate north, a noticeable 
influx of waterfowl entered or remained in the county during the week 
leading up to count day but were not found during our day-long survey, 
including a White-fronted Goose previously seen in the Wallkill River, 
larger numbers of Canvasbacks (139) in the Hudson River, Ring-necked 
Ducks in Esopus Creek, and twenty-two Horned Grebes and four Common 
Loons on Ashokan Reservoir.

The following list summarizes our Ulster County Waterfowl Count results:

Snow Goose - 1
Canada Goose - 5,420
Cackling Goose - 3
Barnacle x Canada hybrid - 1
Mute Swan - 6
Wood Duck - 1
American Black Duck - 41
Mallard - 1,775
Northern Pintail - 1
Canvasback - 75
Bufflehead - 8
Common Goldeneye - 264
Hooded Merganser - 5
Common Merganser - 265

Thanks to all of the field observers for once again providing extensive 
coverage of the county.  A more comprehensive report will appear at a 
later date on the John Burroughs Natural History Society website.
